The UGG® Australia story began in 1978, when Brian Smith, a young surfer from Australia, took a trip to the United States with a bag full of sheepskin boots. After finding a new home amongst California surfers, the UGG® Australia brand began to take shape.
Sheepskin: UGG® Australia uses only the highest-grade sheepskin available.
Twin-face sheepskin is used in many of their products. A piece of twin-face sheepskin has been treated on both the fleece side, and the skin side, providing the soft comfort UGG® Australia is famous for.
Grade-A sheepskin is extremely dense and soft, which provides for a more comfortable and durable material. Lesser quality material and synthetics can be coarse, scratchy, and non-breathable. Grade-A sheepskin breathes naturally, wicking away moisture, and allowing air to circulate freely.
Fleece breathes, wicks moisture away, and allows air to circulate, keeping feet dry. Sheepskin is n
aturally thermostatic thus keeping bare feet close to your natural body temperature regardless of the temperature outside.
Warmth: 30° Below – the science behind thermostatic footwear.
Ugg’s fine woolen sheepskin breathes, wicking heat and moisture away to keep your feet dry and at body temperature indoors and out. Sheepskin is a naturally thermostatic material. This means that while you’re wearing sheepskin, it’s automatically regulating your body temperature throughout the day. Because of this, UGG® Australia sheepskin footwear can be worn all year round. In addition to regulating body temperature, grade-A sheepskin breathes naturally, wicking heat and moisture away.
Slippers: Why not combine the warmth and comfort of sheepskin with a slipper? Ugg carries a fine array of slippers – the perfect gift to keep your friends and family (and you!) comfortable throughout the year.
